In this 2-hour workshop, you'll learn how to draft roving, find your rhythm with the drop spindle, and spin your first continuous length of yarn. Spinning is a wonderful complement to knitting, weaving, and sewing — understanding how yarn is made deepens your relationship with textiles and opens the door to creating truly one-of-a-kind materials for your own projects. No experience with fiber arts is needed — just a willingness to slow down and let the spindle do its work.
